If you disappeared, would anyone miss you? When Joyce Vincent died in her North London bedsit in 2003, nobody noticed until she was found three years later, surrounded by half-wrapped Christmas presents with the TV still on. This astonishing synthesis of fact and fiction is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait of London – the City, music, and race – that propelled Zawe Ashton to fame.
